Times are tough at the moment . My only wish is to hear you say that you’re proud of me and hug me in a dream I want to hear your voice , smell you again , and just be comforted by you , I just want to have a conversation with you about how much I’ve grown . I love you so much and I’ll see you again one day . Papa Jean Sylvie Tahou aka Moon I remember everyone would call you Moon and how you always played every instrument and sang with your heavenly voice . I miss you and I’ll write you again next time but right now I’m gonna sleep hoping you come visit me in my dreams . I love you

Hey it’s 2019 now I still miss you I never forgot about you. I feel like this is the only place that I can come and talk to you I passed my regents so I won’t have any to tests to take in June. I got good grades I’m just catching you up I’ve been thinking about you a lot more recently and I just wanna hug you and I know you would say you’re proud of me you know it’s hard talking about you sometimes but I have to keep it together even though it’s been 10 years now without you it’s still hard for me. I’m still trying to figure myself out and I still think about what it would be like If you were still here. I’m still keeping my promise from 2017. Me and shania had a childish argument that we stopped talking for 6 months but we’re back like nothing ever happened and I kept teasing her about it. Ive been feeling really sad lately too I don’t know why I just felt like something was missing you know, I still think positive because I know I can get through it. But I’ll be back here next year which is 2020 my last year of high school I know you’ll be up there watching me walk on that stage and get my diploma. I love you and I’ll write you in 2020 ❤️

I grew up now I'm 14 writing this I miss you a lot theres never a time where I forget about you I Love you but it's 2017 now and I'm in 9th grade I know your proud of me Your still up there resting in peace and watching over me protecting me from bad people. It's been 9 years without you but I'm okay. I'm not sad because I know you want me to be happy , you're probably in my room right now watching me type this to you. I'm writing this in english cause I don't know how to write it in french 😂. Just know that I never forget I just sometimes forget to remember. Lol thats like a riddle but yeah you know what I mean. One day I will bring Shania to see you at your grave and thats a promise. She's really nice and I know you brought her into my life because she's a good person and she makes me happy. My next post for you will be in 2020 when I graduate high school and go to college hopefully I don't forget. Sometimes I have these scenarios in my head like what if you were here now what would it be like. If you were here now you would be so happy because of everything you did and everything you taught me turned into this beautiful young woman I am today. I love you♥️

repose en paix que la terre te soit legere mon frere moon

Chèr frère moon,
C'est avec larmes aux yeux et emotions que je t'ecris ce dernier message(mes excuses aux personnes qui seront affectées par mes propos), juste revenant d'un voyage qui a fait que j'ai pas pu être à Abidjan pour tes funerailles(et tu le sais).J'ai eu encore plus mal de savoir que j'etais parmi les dernières personnes sinon la dernière personne que tu as eu avant de rentrer en salle d'operation et rendre l'âme par la suite!!!(selon ce que rené,notre petit frère m'aurait dit)
Mais, je remercie le bon Dieu de savoir que tu as enfin arrêté de souffrir de ce mal qui t'a beaucoup fatigué.Sache que je t'aime et je t'aimerai toujours frère,surtout lorsque je pense durant mon dernier voyage à New york,nous avons passer la nuit ensemble et causer longtemps jusqu'à une heure tardive sans laisser ma belle-soeur isabelle dormir!!je pouvais pas m'imaginer que c'etait un Adieu,frère!!!
Que ton esprit repose en paix et je garderai en mémoire tous nos souvenirs d'enfance depuis l'age de 4-5 ans et à peine la quarantaine et tu nous quittes,simplice,rene, et tous les autres frères et soeurs t'aime.Nous prendrons soins de Ashley et Isabelle,jean.tu me disais que tu voulais entendre les personnes qui te sont chers avant ton operation et non que tu nous quittais à Jamais.je pleure parce que nous aurons passé beaucoup plus de temps au phone si je savais que c'était un à Dieu.A Dieu,frère!!!

A ceux que j'ai connu à travers moon et qui souhaiteraient reprendre contact avec moi,n'hesitez pas(LOPEZ)s'il vous plait!grah@stud.ntnu.no 0047+95104694
Merci à toute la famille musicale et amis!!!
NB!je souhaiterais rentrer en contact avec Armand Assirifix(?)(ami)(USA),josee ble(cousine),roger bongo(ami)(abidjan) et autres personnes avec qui nous avions moon en commun.Prenez contact s'il vous plait par email ou telephone!!!

la derniere fois ou je tai vu cetaiat a la porte de vanves chez mon grand frere theo avec leon de toulouse le musicien ensemble on nourrissait le projet des states je nai jamais sus que tu etais ici et par internet jai vus ta photos vraiment penible que le seigneur taccompagne dans ta nouvelle demeure et repose en paix

Moon , je ne t'oublirai jamais
Repose en paix , et que la terre te soit legère,car tout ce que dieux fais est bon.
Je me rappel du jour ou nous étions reparti chez moi à la maison en zone 4, après notre brillante prestation au MASA 1999.
C'est ce jour là que tu a fais la connaissance d'Izabel, chez moi à la maison.
Je savais que tu l'aimais de tout ton coeur,mais helas.....
Prions pour ta fille Ashley , pourqu'elle te représente dignement,et que tu soit en paix là-bas dans ta paisible demeure.

Mes condoléances a toute la grande famille de la musique ivoire et aux parents biologique(famille Tahou)de notre ami.
Nous ne pouvons que dire tout ce que Dieu fait est bon.
Protection divine sure tous les musiciens et artistes de la cote d’ivoire en ces tous difficiles. (Amen)

Moon etait l'un des batteurs les plus talentuentueux que la RCI ait eu sur son sol, mais au-dela de ce fait,Il etait un des gars les plus afables et discrets que je connaisse...Quand son petit Frere et lui venaient a la maison, je remarquait toujours son extreme politesse et sa disponibilite totale. Sur le podium, toujours en retrait bien qu'excellent sur ses percus....
Repose en Paix Frere et que Dieu donne a ta Famille et a tes Amis la force et le courage de supporter ton depart!

Oh mon DIEU je n'arrive pas a croire que MOON soit parti.Comme la vie peut etre surprenante!Mon coeur ne cesse de pleurer depuis que tu nous as quitte.Le mercredi,JP et ASSIRIFIX m'annoncant ta mort,m'avaient dit que les appareils te retenait en vie,alors j'esperais qu'un miracle se produise.Malheureusement ta mort a ete confirmee le vendredi.C'est a ce moment que j'apprends que tu souffrais d'une insuffisance renale depuis longtempts.Je n'aurais jamais imagine que pendant toutes ces annees la maladie te rongeait et subitement que tu as ete terrasse par une hemorragie cerebrale.Mon Dieu qu'est ce qui a pu bien se passer?
MOON tu es parti trop tot.Tu etais plein d'ambitions et rempli de talents.
Je savais que tu etais aux ETATS-UNIS et je pensais que tu faisais ta musique.Je t'imaginais jouer pour les plus grandes stars internationales.La musique etais ta passion et tu maitrisais ton instrument. Tu t’exprimais a travers ta batterie et cela cachais ta timidite.Tu jouais avec force et vitalite au point ou tu brisais les baguettes et il t’en fallait plusieurs.Tu jouais avec une elegance particuliere.MOON tu etais extraordinairement talentueux.Le meilleur de ta generation.
J’ai toujours ces souvenirs meme si cela faisait pratiquement 10 ans qu’on ne s’etait pas vu.
Je n’aurais donc pas imagine que tu avais souffert toutes ces annees aux ETATS-UNIS.Le MOON que j'ai vu a la levee de corps a NEW YORK n'etais pas le meme que j'ai connu a ABIDJAN.La maladie t'avait completement transforme.Je pouvais lire toute la souffrance que tu avais endure.
C'est pas facile d'accepter ta mort mais sachant que tu avais confesse le nom de CHRIST,j'ai l'assurance de ton SALUT.
MOON,tu es aux cotes du DIEU VIVANT qui t'a delie de ton fardeau.
MOON,je ne t'oublierai jamais.Ton desir de perfection,ta bonte,ta gentillesse,ton trop plein d'amour,ton si grand coeur vont tous nous manquer.Ton absence nous laisse un grand vide.
Que Dieu console ta famille et ta fille ASHLEY.
Pars dans la PAIX du SEIGNEUR.Que la Terre te soit legere.

Encore! Encore et encore, Bon Dieu- tu nous donne avec joie et nous replonge dans la tristesse. Faut-il nous plaindre a toi? ou juste attendre la reponse du pourquoi?
Je ne saurais repondre... Moon! que la terre te soit legere...et transmets mon message a Marcellin et Tom qu'ils me manquent toujours.
